2. On top of the engine are various elements and pipelines of its systems. Depending on the type and configuration of the engine, this can be a fuel distribution line, high-pressure pipes of the power system, an ignition module, various types of supply hoses, cable lines, etc., which is especially typical for diesel engines. These elements form a complex configuration and do not allow a high-quality cleaning of the engine surface from dust and dirt, although these systems are the most sensitive to contamination. Contrary to the misconception of many, the cover not only gives the engine a more presentable appearance, but also serves to reduce the degree of contamination and prevent accidental damage to pipelines. Almost all diesel engines and gasoline engines with a working volume of 1.8 liters are equipped with a top protective and decorative cover - do not forget to install it in its original place after completion of work.

3. The engine cover is mounted on spherical bearings fixed on various elements of the engine assembly (see resist. illustration).
Note: On Z17DT engines (L/H) There are only 3 attachment points.
The tight fit is ensured by rubber seals.
4. To remove the cover, simply pull it up with sufficient force - the rubber seals must remain on the cover, otherwise remove them manually and install them in the corresponding slots in the cover.
5. To install, align the mounting sockets with the rubber seals of the top cover with ball-shaped tips and press the cover until it locks on the supports - the cover should fit snugly against the mating surfaces.

6. On this engine, mounting screws are used instead of two front ball bearings to secure the cover (see resist. illustration).
7. To remove the cover, unscrew the screws, disconnect the ventilation hose from the mount on the engine cover, remove the oil filler cap and remove the cover from the two rear ball bearings (see illustration 2.3). Replace the oil filler cap to keep dirt out of the hole.
8. The cover is installed in the reverse order, tighten the screws with the required force.

9. To remove the cover, you must first remove the oil filler cap. Loosen the fixing screws (see resist. illustration). Slightly lift the cover at the rear edge, and slide horizontally forward (to the radiator), then detach from the front rubber holders. Reinstall the oil filler cap.
10. The cover is installed in the reverse order, tighten the screws with the required force.
